ATS1020 - Leadership for social change 1 - 2017

This unit introduces students to interdisciplinary approaches to addressing the key challenges facing the global community. Students are introduced to historical and contemporary concepts, ideas, and frameworks necessary for critically reflecting on the impact of globalisation across cultures. Key to this reflection will be the development of skills in understanding institutions, cultures and people across a range of local, regional, and global contexts. The unit will enable students to identify, define and describe key global challenges and to apply the interdisciplinary knowledge gained in this unit to critique and construct knowledge in this area.

1. Demonstrate an understanding of key concepts and frameworks.
2. Identify key global issues and relate these to different disciplinary contexts.
3. Synthesize a range of sources and apply to understanding different global contexts.
4. Demonstrate collaborative skills and leadership potential.
5. Communicate interdisciplinary knowledge in multiple formats (written, oral, audio-visual).
